CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Rico

“The fuck you mean he was jumped?” Renzo snapped as I stood in his living room first thing the next morning, not wanting to wake him up on the first night he’d called it early to go home and spend time with his wife all week.

“Just that. He was jumped.”

“The fuck didn’t he call me?” Renzo asked as he walked over to his coffee pot.

“He was close to the meat shop,” I explained. “He decided to make his way there in case the fucks came back.”

Renzo nodded at that, a muscle ticking in his jaw.

“Does he know who it was?”

“No. Two guys,” I explained.

“Makes sense. Only way that kid is losing a fight is if he’s outnumbered,” Renzo said.

Coal was his little pet project.

The kid started out as an enemy of the family. But after enduring some brutal beatings as Renzo tried to get information out of him without losing his cockiness or begging for mercy, Renzo kind of decided he would be better as a part of our family than potentially working against it.

Coal was a street kid, on his own for a long time. Which made him hard and hungry and eager to prove his worth. The kid was forever carrying around a black eye, busted lip, or ripped open knuckles. And we allowed it because it was always good for the people on the streets to remember how willing we were to spill blood.

It was rare for someone to win against him.

And it was not good that two guys who should have known who Coal belonged to decided to fuck him up anyway.

Renzo sighed. “Did Coal get any good licks in?”

“Never seen his knuckles so bloody,” I confirmed. I’d taken him with me into the bathroom to clean him up. Partly because I needed the water from the sink. But also because my office smelled like blueberries and sex.

Even just the thought of what happened in my office had my cock nearly springing to life again. Despite having tried to relieve that urge twice already.

Nothing, I was starting to see, was going to make it go away but getting inside of her, fucking through the connection that had grown between us.

If only fucking work would let up for two minutes.

“So, there should be two guys walking around Brooklyn pretty fucked up right now,” Renzo concluded.

“Yeah. I mean, unless they have the good sense to lie low.”

“If they’re jumping a Lombardi soldier, I think it’s safe to say they don’t have much in the way of sense.”

“True. I did get word out to the capos about what happened, but I wanted to wait to talk to you before we give them permission to talk to their soldiers or associates.”

To that, Renzo nodded as he took a sip of his coffee. “Let’s tell them to be on the lookout for guys who are fucked up. We don’t have to tell them all the details. Tell Coal to take a few days off at home to recover. But the more eyes on the street, the better.
